I am still learning how best to use the Voigtlander 40mm E-Mount lens which is a manual lens.
The Moy has been derelict for a long time and if you mention the Moy locals will tell you that it is the building next door that is of historic importance but unfortunately they may be wrong.
Many years ago a local historian, who organised a walking tour of the area, told us that Richard Beesly Sheridan was born at No.12 Dorset Street next door to the Moy Pub. Later I decided to carry out some research and was surprised by the complicated story that I discovered.
According to Wikipedia: “Playwright, Westminster Parliament member, and son of Thomas, Richard Brinsley Sheridan was born on this street at number 12 in 1751; Brinsley Sheridan's works include The Critics and A School for Scandal”.
In 2002 Eneclann Ltd was commissioned to determine if Sheridan was actually born at 12 Dorset Street, as claimed in recent biographies by Fintan O’Toole in 1999 and by Linda Kelly 1n 2097.
The report found that a false assumption about Sheridan's birthplace actual physical came about because of different numbering systems for the street dating back more than 150 years ago. Sheridan was born in 1751 and research historians found that house numbers were not assigned to addresses on Upper Dorset Street until the 1770s, twenty years after Sheridan's birth.
During the period 1770 to 1848 there were some changes in the numbering system. After 1848, the numbers were permanently fixed as they are today. The research found the house recorded as No 12 (Sheridan's birthplace) in the first half of the 19th century could not correspond to the same house today.
Researchers found an early deed for the house currently known as no 12 Dorset Street Upper dated 1783 and records a lease on the property between Joseph Ellis and John Smithy. At this time, the property was recorded as No 10 Dorset Street.
What they did discover was that Thomas Sheridan, Richard's father, held a lease on an adjoining property to what is now 12 Dorset Street.
They are convinced that the actual Sheridan house was one of those purchased by the Dominican Order around August 1883, which were subsequently demolished to build St Saviour's Priory.

Construction workers on 3rd restructure a building in the city most of them can no longer afford to live in.
I see them on the Bart every night.
Here is a picture of one of my favorite collections of buildings and roadwork, in December sun.
My eyelashes accidentally got into the picture at the top left, and I apologize for that.
Yours sincerely,

Deputy Mayor Monica Kurzejeski and Troy Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development Steven Strichman visited 444 River Street to observe progress on renovations. The historic rehabilitation project will transform the 100,000 square foot former Marvin Neitzel Corporation warehouse into the 444 River Lofts, adding 74 new residential units, including a mix of affordable and market rate apartments.

Take a rest while everyone else are working :)
The other workers are welding iron frame that will be part of concrete pillar when mixed with cement.
Work in progress at the former Co-op supermarket at 12-24 Eastwood Road, Rayleigh, Essex. A pity that Marks and Spencer seem to have downsized theirs plans here by only using half of the old supermarket to convert to a food hall. They are going to sell off the other half.
Allegedly due to open in Spring 2016.
Rayleigh town centre is very much in need of a medium sized supermarket in my opinion.
